Hi everyone,
The v2 beta version is now available but before you jump right in, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain a few things about it.
1. Please don't download it if you're not willing to provide CONSTRUCTIVE and MEANINGFUL feedback.
2. There is much less gameplay in the beta version, only common carp of only one size are catchable. You cannot select your bait or tackle yet.
3. You can Run, walk and creep which is called stealth. You will spook the fish if you run or if you walk and are near them. You will not spook them if you use stealth.
4. Once a fish is tired it will stay at the edge of the lake near your feet. At the moment you can't land it and so you'll need to quit & restart the game. I'll be working on landing mechanics next week.
5. Online mode kind of works. There's some issues to please report what you find in the steam community. Press T whilst online lets you chat. Press T and then escape closes the chat window.
That's about it for now, here's how to download the beta:
Open Steam find Carp Fishing Simulator in your library list on the left, right click it and select properties. You should see this window:

Go to the Beta tab on the far right and select the Beta from the drop down list.
It should start downloading. If you want to return to playing the normal release, you'll need to do the same but select 'opt out of beta' and you'll redownload the old version.
Have fun.
